Yes, but keep in mind the default location for logs is /var/log/ (/var/ is on
tmpfs) and VAR_SIZE defaults to 10000k (10 MB).
So changing the asterisk log size from 100k to 10m, with 1 rotation can use 20
MB of space.
You would need to set VAR_SIZE in your user.conf to something much larger, for
example:
--
VAR_SIZE="40000k"
--
Also keep in mind this is only a limit, it does not allocate RAM for the tmpfs
volume until it is needed.
A related note, why do a few programs like logrotate, tarsnap, sudo not have a
/mnt/kd/ symlink. Well, these programs are standalone and do not require a
service init.d script, as such there is no script to symlink /etc/foo ->
/mnt/kd/foo. AstLinux could create dummy service init.d scripts for these
cases, but chose not to and allow users to simply edit the /etc/ config files
directly. Additionally, many users will never have the need to edit these
files.
